My dream is to hit the big lotto and open a really large "Shelter for Strays". A really BIG house that could house many, many of the homeless kitties in a home like setting that could rescue all the babies in kill shelters/ on the streets or just lost and give them a chance for life. This shelter would also include property out in the country that would have a BIG barn for ferals with a small house to house humans to tend to the ferals needs.

The government would take a lot in taxes so why not form a non profit orginazation to help out our fur friends in need. Some of the funds would be used for free spay and neuter clinics and medical bills for low income people who need help with their pets and a lot of TNR. I would happily live out the rest of my days giving shelter to our little fur friends and tending to their needs.

I reality, I guess I am living my dream job, cooking and traveling. I would like to work in a bakery and learn all I can about baking and cake decorating, just for the fun of it..... and I have always wanted to work at a KFC to learn their recipes and secretes. If it has to do with cooking, I am interested!

Vets have to be very good with humans, what happens when a cat dies and you have to tell the mommy?
You should read the book Real People Don't Own Monkeys: And Other Stories of Pets, Their People and the Vets Who See It All
It is written by a vet about all of the things that happen while being a vet.

Someone at my school said that she wanted to be a vet because animals are "cute and fun". I asked her "Do think an animal would be cute and fun if it was just brought in after it was hit by a car and hurt badly?" She replied, "Well....no.... but that doesn't happen often."
All I could think of is that she needs to do alot more research before she even considers being a vet, if she thinks its all fun. My sister is currently going to college to become a vet, but she volunteered at our vet in town for at least two years before she decided. She plans on either volunteering at the shelter or helping out at a vet clinic pretty soon.

I have a lot of ideas. :) I really want to own my own business. Not sure what, though...again, I have tons of ideas...a gift shop/photo studio would be nice. My niece and I have talked about doing something together, like a gift/coffee shop...she's very crafty, and, I'm learning to knit and make baskets...so, we have some ideas for stuff. But, yeah, I'd love to have my own thing going on...

I plan on volunteering in like a few years. The animal shelter wont even let you back to see the animals w/o someone unless you're 16...

Well I really want to work at the Smithsonian Institute (in Washington) and become some sort of biologist there(still deciding).
Then I want to become a vet and possibly work at Alameda East in Colorado(The one from Emergency vets on Animal Planet) Then I would open up a shelter for unwanted pets and animals, where any type of pet is welcome.
I would also like to go to Africa and help save the endangered animals there. maybe opening up an orphanage/ rescue unit for a few of endangered animals.
